10th SS Panzer Division Frundsberg

Encyclopedia : 1 : 10 : 10T : 10th SS Panzer Division Frundsberg


The 10.SS-Panzer-Division Frundsberg was a German Waffen SS panzer division that saw action of both the Western and Eastern Fronts during World War II. The honor title Frundsberg refers to 16th Century German Knight and military commander Georg von Frundsberg.

It, and its "twin" Division, the 9th SS Panzer-Division Hohenstaufen played an important part in holding the British Forces back in Normandy, particularly during Operation Epsom. Later, the Division was instrumental in stemming the Allied onslaught during Operation Market Garden at Nijmegen, in the Netherlands, at which time it, along with the 9th SS Panzer, constituted the II SS Panzer Corps.
